3. Types of Documentation
It has been said that the paper documentation
required for the maintenance of a modern jet liner
would weigh about the same as the airplane itself !
Whether or not this is true, there is certainly a
considerable amount of documentation.
This section will look at three main types of
documentation –
1. Manufacturer’s Documentation
2. Regulatory Documentation
3. Airline Generated Documentation
4. Here, The manufacturer provides necessary
information on safe and proper use of
equipment for the better service life .
Mostly, Operation instructions, installation
and assembly instructions, maintenance and
repair instructions, illustrated parts catalogue
may contain in the document.
5. Formal Document will have all details about aircraft
maintenance.
This includes checks of lubricating system,
functional checks and servicing of airplane.
Usually it excludes structural modifications and
fiber glass paneling.
Technician signs off logbook/non-routine work
card (NRWC)
6. You can do component maintenance under the
aircraft category in two cases.
i) when the AMM tells you to do so by pointing
to a relevant CMM
ii) when the maintenance of the component does
not require the unit itself to be removed from the
airframe except for the purpose of improving
technical access.
7. It is the document which details the way in which
aircraft maintenance tasks on the specified
component shall be accomplished.
The maintenance tasks contained in these
manuals do include procedures for restoring a
structural component to a serviceable state and
reworking and refinishing procedures are often
provided in CMM.
8. • Set of fault isolation trees
• Block diagram
• Troubleshooting
• Isolate fault
• Identify/pinpoint problems
9.
10. It will have Parts list/location of all parts.
It gives the details of
• Assemblies
• Subassemblies
• Alternate part numbers
• Part inter-changeability
• Modifications
• Pre and post modification
It is used only as supporting reference with the Aircraft
maintenance manual
11. This diagram focuses to show how the system
operates.
It is suitable for learning and teaching and for
troubleshooting.
Schematic Diagram of electrical and hydraulic
systems of aircraft contains the detailed
information and identifies wiring harnesses,
connectors and interfacing equipment.
12. It is Essential for troubleshooting in wiring
systems.
It contains complete run of wiring, including cable
bundle numbers and routing, plug and connector
numbers and locations and other structural
elements through which the wiring is routed.
13.
14.
15. It is identified by the airframe manufacturer
and approved by the FAA.
Identify the equipment which may be
degraded or inoperative at dispatch of the
aircraft.
Airline’s responsibility to develop their own
manual for their specific equipment.
16. It is doing maintenance works for the equipments
in MMEL before the dispatch of the product.
It will check
• Pull/placard circuit breakers
• Disconnect power
• Tie up loose cables for removed
equipment
17. It involves the configuration of the aircraft.
It identifies any external parts of an aircraft type which may
be missing at the commencement of a flight.
Discovered during line checks/pre-post flights
• Panels
• Gear doors
• Flap hinge fairings
• Cargo doors
18. Storage and Recovery Document (SRD)
Structure Repair Manual (SRM)
Maintenance Planning Data Document (MPD)
Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMRs)
Task Cards (TC)
Service Bulletins
Service Letter
Maintenance Tip
19. Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR)
Advisory Circulars(AC)
Airworthiness Directive (AD)
Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM)
20. These are related to all aspects of aviation
including
* commercial ,private aircrafts
* airports
* Navigational Aid
* ATC
* Pilot training
21. • Issued by FAA
• Designed to help airline operators meet
the FAR requirements
• suggestions how to comply
• They define acceptable means, but not the
only means, of showing compliance with
airworthiness regulations.
22. The airworthiness directives are very important
regulations issued by FAA to correct an unsafe
condition that exists in an
* aircraft
* aircraft engine
* Propeller
* other aircraft appliance
23. Typically an ADs will include-
➢ A description of the unsafe condition
➢ The corrective action required
➢ Date of compliance
➢ Info on alternative methods of compliance.
24. This is issued by FAA whenever the FAA
intends to change a FAR.
It is issued in advance of the change to give
aviation industry plenty of time to study and
comment on the proposed change.
26. Written by the airlines in accordance with
strict FAA requirements.
It details the airline’s maintenance, inspection
and operations programs.
This documents can be prepared only by the
operators or airliners.
27. Primary document for M&E operations manual
Defines exactly how all M&E functions and
activities will be carried out
Personnel in M&E must be trained on the
TPPM
29. It is a part of TPPM
• All inspection activities
• Mechanic inspection tasks
• QC inspector tasks
• Special Inspections (Hard landings , Bird strikes)
• Airlines required inspection item (RII) Program
• Paperwork and forms to carry out these
functions
30. Special manual or part of TPPM
• It Defines
• Duties/responsibilities of QA auditors
• Annual QA processes and procedures
• Includes formats for Forms and reports
to be used
31. It is a information standards for aviation maintenance and
flight operations.
These standards provide recommended specifications for the
structure.
• Objective is to:
• Minimize cost and effort expended by operators
• Improve information quality
• Ensure that manufacturers provide data that meets
airline operational needs.
32. • Description and Operation (001 - 099)
• What system does
• Various operational modes
• Detailed description of how it works
• Fault Isolation (101 – 199)
• Fault trees
• Specific faults based on flight deck effects
• Maintenance Practices (201 - 299)
• When 2 or more actions must be used to complete task
• Followed by test
